Thimble and Bold Penguin launch AI quoting integration

Thimble and Bold Penguin have developed an integration that lets brokers request small business insurance quotes in natural language within Bold Penguin’s platform. AI agents from the two companies exchange information and carry out quoting tasks, with brokers overseeing the process.

“This is more than an AI technology milestone. It’s an early glimpse into how insurance distribution could evolve in the years ahead. The ability for AI agents from carriers and brokers to communicate and transact business, alongside human decisioning, has the potential to unlock new levels of speed, connectivity, and innovation across our industry. This is not about removing humans from the process, but empowering them in completely new ways. Human expertise, oversight and decision-making remain central to how we develop and deploy these capabilities.” – Jay Rajendra, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer at Arch Capital Group, Thimble’s parent company.

“We are delighted to partner with the Thimble team who share our ambition for intelligent growth. The work to get it to this stage on data transparency, decision transparency, guardrails, security and compliance was immense, and it is great to see other organizations reciprocate this.” – Lakshan De Silva, Chief Data & Technology Officer at Bold Penguin.
